After a great sail from Larnaca in Cyprus, Cadiz is now at Finike in Turkey. We were fortunate to have cooperative winds for a change, and averaged about 7 kts for the 230 nm passage, with the wind on the starboard quarter at about 18-20 kts for much of the journey.
Finike lies on a bay surrounded by high mountains, part of the mighty Taurus chain and from here we will wander west towards Marmaris.
Today we discovered the most amazing market in the centre of town with literally hundreds of stalls; akin to moving Coles, K Mart & Big W into the streets. The quality of the fresh fruit and vegies is wonderful, so different from our own so called supermarkets in Oz.
The crew remain happy and well, though now getting used to cooler weather as the season changes.
